I am really clueless of what cues USCIS to whether retain an I130 and forward an I129F to NVC. becoz I observed by reading these threads that there are cases where both I130 and I129F (of those who filed both IR1 and K3)are sent to NVC and there are cases that their I130's are being hold then I129F are being forwarded to NVC.

USCIS has a new policy designed to streamline their processing. Since many people who have filed for both K3 and IR/CR1 end up entering on K3 and adjusting status, it is a waste of resources to ever send the I130 to the NVC.

So they are presuming that anyone who has an approved K3 will choose to pursue Adjustment of Status and they are holding onto the approved I130s and not forwarding them to NVC. They don't seem to be applying it consistently yet. I started a thread "Tracking Recently Approved I130s" in this forum to try to figure out how they are doing it :)

Hope this helps!
